  • Supporting Contemporary Makers
    Supporting contemporary makers Acquisitions for the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection 2019–2020 Dr Dora Thornton Supporting contemporary makers: acquisitions for the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection 2019–20 The Goldsmiths’ Company has supported excellence, craftsmanship and skills in the goldsmiths’ community ever since the Company received its first Royal charter in 1327. The Company now has one of the finest collections of British silver, including contemporary and historic plate, modern jewellery and art medals. Much of the Collection is still used for its original purpose. Jewellery is worn at occasions in the Hall. Pieces are also displayed in exhibitions and lent elsewhere, as well as being used for teaching the next generations of makers, our apprentices at the Goldsmiths’ Centre, and promoting wider knowledge and patronage of the craft. Our ambitious plans to digitise our collections will eventually make much of our material—objects and archives—freely available online through our website to show who we are and what we do. This booklet describes the Company’s acquisitions, which are overseen by the Contemporary Craft Committee, over one year, from April 2019 to April 2020. Many of the purchases—and one commission—are the work of makers who are new to the Collection. Commissions completed this year include a superb brooch; two very different portrait medals of Prime Wardens of the Company; and three Court Cups, designed to be used by individual members of the Court of Assistants in the Hall. The cups are paid for by the Company and since 2018 have formed part of the Collection; they advertise the work of particular makers and excellence in the trade while also recording much about their individual patrons.

  • The Lost-Wax Casting Process—Down to Basics by Eddie Bell, Founder, Santa Fe Symposium
    The Lost-Wax Casting Process—Down To Basics By Eddie Bell, Founder, Santa Fe Symposium. Lost-wax casting is a ancient technique that is used today in essentially the same manner as it was first used more than 5,000 years ago. As they say, there's no messing with success. Today, of course, technology has vastly expanded the technique and produced powerful equipment that makes the process faster, easier and more productive than ever, but the basic steps remain the same. The steps below represent a simple overview and are intended to provide a beginning understanding of the casting process. Concept This is obviously where the design is initally conceived, discussed,evolved, and captured on paper—or on computer; CAD (computer aided design) software is increasingly popular among designers. You create the design you envision using the computer tool and the software creates a file that can be uploaded into a CNC mill or 3D printer. Model Build a model, either by hand-carving, guided by the paper rendering, or by uploading the CAD file into a computer controlled milling machine or a 3D printing machine. Models are made using carving wax, resin or similar material. This process can also be done in metal by a goldsmith or silversmith. Note: If a 3D printer or other rapid prototyping equipment is used, it is possible to skip the molding and wax-injection steps by using one of the resins that are specially made to go directly to the treeing process. Molding Create a mold from your master model, placing it in one of a variety of rubber or silicone materials, curing the material, then removing the model from the finished mold.

  • ORAL HISTORY of MYRON GOLDSMITH Interviewed by Betty J

All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publication, are reserved to the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries of The Art Institute of Chicago. No part of this manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of The Art Institute of Chicago. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iv Outline of Topics vi Oral History 1 Selected References 138 Curriculum Vitae 140 Index of Names and Buildings 142 iii PREFACE Myron and I recorded his memoirs in his home in Wilmette, Illinois, on July 25, 26, September 7, and October 5, 1986. To describe his unique career, a colleague of Myron’s has coined the word “architechnologist,” while an architectural critic labeled him “Chicago’s new structural poet.” His training with world-class masters Mies van der Rohe and Pier Luigi Nervi, combined with Myron’s own poetic vision, have brought forth outstanding projects that embody pristine aesthetics and technology on the cutting edge. Now retired from Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Myron continues to transmit his special vision of architecture to colleagues and students through his teaching at the Illinois Institute of Technology, guest lecturing, and writing. Our interview sessions were recorded on eight 90-minute cassettes, which have been transcribed and reviewed by both Myron and me.

  • 2 Fusion, Oct 2007
    fusion The Journal of the International PMC Guild Unless there was a Post Office Mishap, along with an issue of Fusion you received the premiere edition of the PMC Guild Annual. I’ll bet you looked at that first, but that didn’t hurt our feelings here at the Journal. We think the book looks great and we hope you agree. A panel of four jurors re- viewed more than 1,000 submis- sions from artists from around the world. Ultimately, jurors chose the work of 56 artists for inclusion in the Annual. A few things worth noting: If you didn’t get in, do not feel bad. The competition was exception- ally stiff. And if you did get in, congratulations. It’s quite an honor. In addition to going to members of the PMC Guild, the Annual also is circulating in Europe and Asia. Mitsubishi, the maker of PMC, bought 1,200 copies for distribution in Japan. Hattie Sanderson was one of the four jurors for the inaugural Annual. She was impressed with the range and quality of the images submitted for review, and said the sheer number of submissions “speaks volumes about the growth of PMC from its humble beginnings ten years ago.” The quality of the work has evolved tremendously, as well. “It is evident that the PMC community is an adventurous group that is willing to experiment and then share ideas. I think the 2007 Annual is a wonderful representation of PMC as it has evolved to this point.” She hopes the Annual serves as inspiration for new ideas and innovations.

  • The Mechanics of Jewelry
    THE MECHANICS OF JEWELRY SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY JOSHUA D. SANCHEZ ADVISOR: PATRICIA NELSON BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2011 TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page i Table of Contents ii Chapter One: Statement of Problem 1 Chapter Two: Influences 2 - 9 Chapter Three: Description of Artworks and Process 10 - 24 Chapter Four: Conclusion 25 - 28 Chapter Five: Exhibition Statement 29 Appendix 30 - 37 Works-Cited 38 - ii - Statement of Problem There are three major questions and obstacles that I will deal with in the creation of my art. The first question, “how do I incorporate industrialized objects such as screws and gears into jewelry?” comes from my love of mechanical objects that are parts of a larger whole. With my second question, “how can I make these industrialized objects out of precious metals, primarily silver?” I attempt to meld industrial parts with precious materials. The third question is, “how can I incorporate gemstones into these objects?” Many of the gemstones that I will be using in my work are rather large in comparison to mainstream jewelry. The successful integration of these large gemstones will be critical to the design and aesthetic appearance of some of my work; the success of the rest of my work will be contingent on the integrated mechanics, specifically gears. - 1 - Influences My initial influence was that of the Steampunk Genre, which was influenced by the mechanics of the Industrial Revolution. Steampunk is a genre of literature and art set in the Victorian era where steam is the predominant power supply.
